		<description><![CDATA[Oakland school district staff have built a 2 percent raise for all district employees into the 2011-12 budget projections, an increase that they say will cost $2 million. At the same time, the district plans to cut its expenses by $12 million &#8212; at least, initially, according to a presentation to the board&#8217;s Finance &#38; [...]]]></description>

The turnout was less than half of what it was in May, the first time this year OEA members authorized a strike. (This vote was to affirm the last one.) Only 341 union [...]]]></description>

If you haven&#8217;t noticed, your union&#8217;s website has been rescued from the 20th Century and resuscitated by Oakland High School math teacher Rori Abernethy (who has an impressive blog of her own in which she recently showcased her student&#8217;s work).

		<description><![CDATA[Compared to this spring, when Oakland teachers held a one-day strike, there has been relative calm this fall on the labor front. Have you noticed it, too? It seemed as if both sides were waiting. Would Oaklanders would come forth with an infusion of cash &#8212; about $17 million a year for OUSD employees until 2021 &#8212; to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s say a teacher announces in April she&#8217;s retiring at the end of the school year. The teacher tells the district&#8217;s HR department, and if that position needs to be filled, the HR department tells the teachers union, which tells its members they may apply for that job. Teacher contracts in many districts allow displaced teachers (usually, the most [...]]]></description>

By law, unified school districts in California must spend at least 55 percent of their expenses on the salaries and benefits of classroom teachers and instructional [...]]]></description>
